Barbie, starring Greta Gerwig, has soared to the top of the 2023 box office charts, earning more money than even the Super Mario Bros. Movie. This film about the iconic doll has made a staggering $1.38 billion worldwide, more than the Super Mario Bros. Movie's $1.36 billion. The talented Margot Robbie plays the doll.
Barbie's excursion from her eccentric pink dreamland to the genuine one, rejuvenated under Greta Gerwig's capable aegis, has enraptured crowds around the world. Not only did Barbie's rise to the top of the box office defy expectations from the industry, but it also helped revitalize the struggling summer box office in the United States, pushing it past the $4 billion mark for the first time since the pandemic began.

The release of two big-budget films simultaneously on a fateful July day known as "Barbenheimer" (Barbie and Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer) contributed in part to this unexpected success. These unique deliveries consolidated powers to push all out film industry incomes past the earlier year's $3.4-billion imprint.
The underlying figures in the business had put the Super Mario Brothers Film as the leader for the title of the year's greatest film. Notwithstanding, Barbie's staggering achievement has conclusively invalidated these forecasts, hardening her status as the ruling realistic vibe of 2023.
